The breeding methods and precautions of Honghuiyan

1. Hong Yanhui's lighting management

Hong Yanhui is a succulent plant that likes to grow in an environment with abundant sunlight. At the same time, the surrounding environment must be relatively cool and dry because it is drought-resistant but not moisture-resistant. Although you like sunshine, you should not expose yourself to the sun for long periods of time. The summer sun is too strong, so you should not expose yourself to full sun in the summer. You can bask in the sun anytime and anywhere in spring, autumn and winter. Let’s take a look at light management in different seasons.

1. Spring and Autumn

The growing season of Hong Yanhui is from September of each year to June of the following year. If there is insufficient light during this period, the plants will grow too tall and the beautiful red edges will gradually fade. However, if the light is too strong, the Red Yanhui will not develop well, will not grow to the standard height, and the leaves will be too compact. Therefore, in spring and autumn, light management must be done well. Although the light will not be too strong during this period, you should also pay attention to avoiding sun exposure. You can enjoy sunlight at any other time. While enjoying the sunlight, you must also ensure that the surrounding environment is in semi-shade and the humidity is not too high, otherwise it will cause root rot.

2. Winter

Although Hong Yanhui is resistant to low temperatures, this low temperature is not as low as the outdoor temperature in winter. If the temperature is too cold, the leaves and rhizomes will be frostbitten, so when providing light in winter, make sure you are indoors and provide light through the glass.

2. Watering management of Hong Yanhui

Succulent plants are relatively drought-resistant, and the Red Beauty Plant is no exception. Its water requirement is not too high. But remember not to water too frequently, otherwise it will cause the Red Yanhui to grow too tall and shapeless, and the entire appearance will look particularly unsightly and difficult to appreciate. In winter, do not water frequently. Plant growth slows down in winter, so the requirements for nutrients and water are not high. Watering too much in winter can cause root rot, and in severe cases, it can lead to plant death. Although the temperature is high in summer, you should avoid overwatering. If you follow the watering principles, you can keep the Hong Yanhui well.

3. Fertilization management of Hong Yanhui

Hong Yanhui likes fertilizer, so keep fertilizing. Generally, fertilizer is applied every 17 days or so, usually containing base nitrogen and high phosphorus or potassium fertilizer, but be sure not to apply too much, just a thin layer is enough. When applying fertilizer, do not apply it on the leaves, otherwise it will form scars and affect the appearance. In winter, you need to stop fertilizing.
